OK here is the deal. After my car sat for like 2 months we finally finished rebuilding the car. Got the Turbo Timer in and everything wired back up. I then wired the clutch saftey switch so that i didnt have to push my ACT 2600 in while starting (crankwalk prevention?). However i found that wiring this hot is the incorrect way, you actually have to cut the wire! So now it cranks... but before i descovered that you had to cut the wire we pullstarted my car just to get it to run... It ran fine, so i put a starter on thinking thats why it wouldnt turn over, no dice because i had saftey switch wrong! Well, i cut the wire and now all it does is crank. Yestarday it started but ran for 10 seconds then died... no spark... so today i put a freinds ignition coil pack on and it ran for 10 seconds again then died... no spark! WTF!??! Please help!
Oh yea.. no spark from ANY wires too...
 
ok i walked away for like an hour or two... turned it over and it started right up! but then i heard a single click inside and it stalled for a second then kept running... then it ran for a total of like 5 minutes and then it died again! it clicked under the dash as though i shut the ignition off right when it died too!!? But its not the many clicks or a fuel problem like when ECU capacitors go bad!
